	♥ 12:06pm Phillippe Bastille: Handy, does Bagpipe make weird noises in the wind?
	♥ 12:07pm Handy Haversack: We play him before battle to instill fear in our enemies, Phillippe.
	12:07pm Mary Wing: Hi Handy! It's a dog's life, truly.
	12:07pm βrian: I imagine Bagpipe needs a little pumping up first, no?
	♥ 12:08pm Phillippe Bastille: My bride's side of the family is partially Scottish. They do kilts, no bagpipes (thus far)
	🛎 ♥ 12:08pm Ike: Meow!
	♥ 12:08pm Handy Haversack: Every day is Saturday to a dog. Though only Saturdays have Fools' Paradise.
	12:08pm Mark R: I dig this weird, scary electronic shit, Mary.

	12:13pm Mary Wing: I didn't think it was scary, though, Mark, were the hairs on the back of your neck standing up? :-)
	♥ 12:13pm Phillippe Bastille: I just got a text from my cousin about some dude in the neighborhood who put a large penis in Christmas lights on his roof. I'm guessing he's across the street from the guy with the huge Trump banner on his roof. Either that or he thinks Santa is gay and just putting an invitation out there...
	12:14pm Mark R: I'm pretty sure that's the sound I'll be hearing as I descend down the tunnel to Hell.
	♥ 12:14pm spodiodi: Phillippe, lololol. i'm very happy to hear that :D
	♥ 12:15pm WR: Hi Mary and folks. Streaming drummer stream here today but I've got to pay attention to my work computer instead of the playlist. Have fun.
	♥ 12:15pm Handy Haversack: Ken, I got our Stashu Karoke tix. Even going to miss an extra Julie show for it! OK. We will be back for the last two-thirds of the show. See you soon, Wingers!
	12:16pm Mary Wing: Howdy, WR, we'll try not to distract you too much...
	♥ 12:16pm Sem: I have this persistent ringing in my ears. Is this the right place for a cure? Hello, your Royal Wingness, and the 100%.
	♥ 12:17pm fred: @Phillippe: Or he ordered a Pence banner to match his neighbor and someone thought it was a typo
	♥ 12:17pm spodiodi: 🎅🍆🎄❄️☃️🎅🍆🎄❄️☃️🎅🍆🎄❄️☃️🎅🍆🎄❄️☃️
	♥ 12:18pm Phillippe Bastille: @Fred very well could be...
	12:18pm Mark R: I really love this whole first set actually.
	♥ 12:18pm spodiodi: hello and thanks, WR! aloha, S'em! lol, fred! (aloha)
	♥ 12:18pm Sem: Yo, yo, spo'di'.
	12:19pm Mark R: Something tells me Pence would secretly like that large penis very much. Don't tell Mother.
	♥ 12:19pm Phillippe Bastille: I'm gonna have to ride around tonight and see if I can find it.
	12:20pm Mary Wing: Greetings Sem! The dings shall cure all ills! Aw, thanks Mark! !'m proud of how this first set rolled out, yep.
	♥ 12:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: Sounds fun, Handy. I haven't purchased mine yet. I also need to work on a polka song for Stashu's other project. How's our resident spodiatrist doing today?
	12:21pm βrian: "Mother, may I?"
	♥ 12:23pm spodiodi: busy, with a touch of repetitive stress, but good otherwise, Ken, thank you! how about you?
	♥ 12:23pm David (in London): Ring a ding ding, I'm late in. All hail Mary Wing. Phillippe, Handy, Lisa, Sem, Spod, Brian, fred. Yo Groovers.
	♥ 12:24pm spodiodi: David (in London)! good to see ya aloha, βrian! i think you may, fwiw
	12:26pm βrian: Wait, this sounds like Duane. Have I strayed?
	12:26pm Mary Wing: Evening salutations, David in London!
	12:26pm Sylvia (France-NYC): Hello, I'm late!
	12:28pm Mary Wing: <feels self> No, I think you're in the right place, Brian. Salut Sylvia! Latecomers will be seated at the discretion of management, heh. Find yourself a comfy chair!
	12:29pm βrian: The Boards Of Canada Geese have taken up residence at a nearby pond. There are hundreds of them!
	♥ 12:29pm spodiodi: 👋 Sylvia
	♥ 12:30pm David (in London): Come and join me at the back Sylvia, I've saved you a space.
	♥ 12:30pm spodiodi: Boards of Canada make up for all that goose mess with such nice relaxing tunes
	12:31pm βrian: Ah, good to see some cooperation across the channel.
	12:31pm Sylvia (France-NYC): thanks, David! hey @spodiodi
	12:32pm Hubig Pie: This be the first time I hear The Boards on this here station
	🛎 ♥ 12:32pm Ike: Nice to know that Pence-y types aren't ONLY found in America. Mike Pence's sorta-kinda Hungarian counterpart, an ally of Orban (like T---p but more wily), has resigned after fleeing a lockdown-violating 25-man orgy in Belgium: www.businessinsider.in...
	♥ 12:34pm Phillippe Bastille: This groove is pretty nice... Hey DiL, Sylvia!
	♥ 12:34pm Sem: Hiya, David iL (or out in the UK sticks, as the case may be).
	♥ 12:34pm David (in London): Wotcha Hubig me old mucker.
	♥ 12:36pm spodiodi: Ike, thanks for more smile-induction :D
	12:36pm βrian: Is Boris going to give sanctuary to the Cheetoh?
	♥ 12:36pm spodiodi: Hubig, aloha! come to think of it... neither have i, though i love them, and they were perfect in this really sweet and soothing set
	♥ 12:37pm fred: @Mark R: did you hear about the Hungarian anti-LGBTQ MEP who was caught in a gay orgy during lockdown in Brussels?
	♥ 12:38pm spodiodi: cheetolini skatin on think ice, βrian. i hope not
	12:39pm Hubig Pie: Ok David, you gots to 'splain the difference 'tween a mucker and a cocker
	♥ 12:39pm Phillippe Bastille: the first two letters
	12:40pm Mary Wing: Hello Hubig! Man, that article is too funny, Ike! Always the ones who complain the loudest about "moral indecency" and the like are the ones caught with their pants down, heh.
	12:41pm Hubig Pie: Greets, Spo-dee-o-deee
	♥ 12:44pm David (in London): Hubig, 'mucker' is military slang in origin I think, 'cocker' not so. 'Fucker' is best avoided...
	♥ 12:46pm spodiodi: Carajo, DiL! such language!
	12:46pm Hubig Pie: Fucker is for Frank Booth
	♥ 12:48pm spodiodi: LCD Soundsystem 8^D where's ngh?
	12:48pm Mary Wing: Has anyone seen the LCD Soundsystem movie "Shut Up And Play The Hits"? I liked the concert footage but could have done without the pretentious interview segments, heh.
	♥ 12:49pm Phillippe Bastille: Ok Wingers, heading in for breakfast/lunch (on an 18/6 intermittent fast schedule). Who needs what?
	12:49pm βrian: A cocker is a spaniel, no?
	12:50pm Sylvia (France-NYC): Fries, Philippe!
	♥ 12:50pm spodiodi: Mary Wing, i have not and am now afraid to watch it (not that i knew of it before your mentioning it just now) -- ignorance is bliss in this case, for me, i'm sure. i dislike pretension muchomucho
	♥ 12:51pm spodiodi: i'd like a half-smoke, please Phillippe
	12:51pm Mary Wing: Fries! And eggs, over easy!
	♥ 12:51pm David (in London): Spod, sometimes a stout Anglo-Saxon expletive is the only mot juste for the occasion... Scampi in a basket please Phillippe.
	♥ 12:51pm spodiodi: SYlvia makes a good request --- with old bay please
	12:51pm Mary Wing: You can always fast-forward through the pretentious bits, spodiodi; I should've done that.
	12:52pm Sylvia (France-NYC): yeah, over easy eggs are goood
	♥ 12:53pm Phillippe Bastille: Coming right up folks!
	♥ 12:53pm spodiodi: noted, Mary. good idea. such an ironic title, with the point you raised heh :)
	12:54pm Mary Wing: I guess they thought they were being ironic with that title, heh. But it's true! Shut up, man!
	12:54pm βrian: I'll have the usual: Poached halibut drizzled with a roasted-red-pepper coulis, with wild rice and zucchini.
	🛎 ♥ 12:54pm Ike: I recently discovered how to properly make my own fries in the oven, now I just have to figure out the optimal way to cut them so they're not too thin or too thick.
	♥ 12:54pm fred: I usually try to look at the pretentious interview as a Spinal Tap outtake, or at least as the baffled experts in the Jandek doc. If that fails, I do skip
	♥ 12:55pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning-ish, Mary! ... And all Whatever-ers!
	12:57pm Mary Wing: Hiya S&M&S! Any guesses what song is coming next, based on this guitar sound?
	12:57pm Sylvia (France-NYC): @Ike wedge is fine in the oven, and once cooked you can toss them with some parsley, paprika, garlic powder, and grated parmesan It's dinner time in Franceland, I'm hungry!
	♥ 12:57pm spodiodi: i like how you think, fred. good idea. aloha, S&M&S
	♥ 12:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: If you can pick me up a couple of those healthy whole wheat Pop-Tarts, Phillippe, that would be great. Frosted fudge, if they have any left.
	♥ 12:58pm David (in London): Hey S&M&S Mary - Defecting Grey, The Pretty Things.
	12:58pm Mary Wing: Ike, how are you cutting them? With a knife? Do you have a grater with multiple blade sizes?
	♥ 12:59pm David (in London): Darn, it was Eno. And I always thought that the line 'burns his books, burn his shoes' was actually 'Bugs Bunny shoes'.
	♥ 12:59pm Stanley: Ah, tuning in just in time to hear one of my all-time favourite pieces.
	♥ 12:59pm Handy Haversack: And we are back for Eno!
	12:59pm Hubig Pie: All the hits
	♥ 12:59pm Stanley: And there was you, Mary
	♥ 1:00pm Stanley: then
	♥ 1:00pm spodiodi: aloha, Stanley! wb, Handy
	♥ 1:01pm Stanley: Friends, fiends and fronds all present.
	1:02pm Mary Wing: Ha ha ha, David! And there really are Bugs Bunny shoes now! Hello Stanley and welcome back Handy!
	♥ 1:04pm Handy Haversack: Now I gotta make a salad. The torchum, it never stops, I tell you.
	🛎 ♥ 1:04pm Ike: @Mary, with a small but sharp knife. Last time they were too crispy, close to burnt, because I cut them shoestring-ish (or thinner) size and baked them a little too long. I need to try a more wedge-like shape. One thing that apparently helps is to soak (blanch) them in cold water for 10 minutes before baking.
	1:04pm βrian: Oh dear, I'm starting to crever la faim. Needs me some pommes frites.
	♥ 1:06pm Stanley: I've got the rice cooker on and the packet curry chick peas are standing by the microwave. It is a wednesday evening after all.
	♥ 1:07pm fred: @Stanley: I had some gift cards to spend quickly, so I settled on some French whisky. Not as terrible as expected, but nothing great either. I did get a Kilchoman too though
	♥ 1:08pm david w: Hugs, Mary! Hello all (and now I'm really hungry).
	1:08pm Roberto: I like the Muppet Show version of Windmills.
	1:09pm Mary Wing: Hugs back atcha, David W! How was your Thanksgiving, quiet?
	♥ 1:09pm Stanley: Ike - I've been doing homestyle chips for a long time. I find best cut into wedges but essential to turn then every five to seven minutes. We don't want over-browned on one side. Ooh, no Matron.
	1:10pm Mary Wing: Hi Roberto, I must hear that version! I guess Windmills will get the 30ak treatment sometime in the future...
	♥ 1:11pm Stanley: fred: French whisky? I'm intrigued. If I go french it's usually Armagnac.
	♥ 1:11pm Phillippe Bastille: Everybody's lunch okay? Leftover tuna casserole and room temperature Fresca for me...
	♥ 1:11pm David (in London): Stanley. was that a Kenneth Williams impression? If so, go to the front of the class.
	♥ 1:12pm Phillippe Bastille: @Stanley there's a French whiskey named Bastille. I get no proceeds.
	♥ 1:12pm Stanley: David - stop mucking about!
	♥ 1:13pm spodiodi: aloha, david w! stabs at Phillippes' Fresca with a crazystraw
	♥ 1:13pm Stanley: Phillipe - there are also some up and coming Canadian malts, so I'm told.
	1:13pm Sylvia (France-NYC): well, instead of fries, I'm gonna have soup. Ugh. But also, yum.
	1:14pm Roberto: It works mostly on a visual level: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 1:14pm Phillippe Bastille: @Sylvia wait, you didn't get the fries?
	♥ 1:14pm fred: @Stanley: No need to change your habits about French stuff.
	1:15pm βrian: Well, I had to go with cold leftover lasagna.
	1:16pm Hubig Pie: A whole other side of Billy Paul here
	♥ 1:16pm Phillippe Bastille: @βrian I still have some room temp Fresca I can pour over it to warm it up
	1:16pm βrian: Armagnac for me, too. Sometimes Calvados.
	🛎 ♥ 1:17pm Ike: @Stanley, that sounds right. As a bonus, this is a great way to use up disappointing or mediocre olive oil, which seems rife around here lately. Just a drizzle, of course.
	♥ 1:17pm Ken From Hyde Park: I remember when my dear mother would deep-fry potato slices. We had one of those Ronco Veg-o-matic gadgets to slice them.
	1:18pm βrian: Fresca! With cyclamates!
	1:19pm Roberto: The longest line I've ever seen outside the Beacon was for Yusuf/Cat a few years ago.
	1:19pm Hubig Pie: Poire Williams eau de vie, si vous plait
	1:20pm Mary Wing: Really, Roberto? Did you go see him?
	1:20pm Roberto: Lol no I hate long lines :P
	♥ 1:20pm doctorjazz: Love these old Roche's album's! Hi all!
	♥ 1:21pm spodiodi: hello, doctorjazz!
	♥ 1:21pm Phillippe Bastille: @βrian covers the taste of saccharine
	1:22pm Listener Robert: Where in NJ did they say they came from? Twice I couldn't make it out.
	1:22pm Mary Wing: Hi doctorjazz! I <3 The Roches early albums too!
	1:23pm Mary Wing: They said "we come from deepest New Jersey" Listener Robert, no city mentioned, heh!
	♥ 1:23pm fred: @Hubig Pie: I remember some homemade pear liquor that had the grainy feel of pear. I don't remember much after that though
	1:23pm βrian: Lots of spinach and zucchini in that lasagna.
	1:23pm Listener Robert: Thanks, Ms. Wiing. It did sound like that, but the closest sound to it I thought of was "Seacrest".
	♥ 1:24pm doctorjazz: I googled, Park Ridge NJ was Deepest New Jersey.
	♥ 1:24pm Stanley: Ike - I jazz 'em up sometimes with a sprinkling of paprika before they go in and then a couple of mins at the end with some melting cheese.
	♥ 1:25pm Phillippe Bastille: off to zoom. later gators
	1:25pm Mary Wing: Wikipedia says the Roches came from Park Ridge, NJ. Not sure how deep that is, though.
	1:25pm βrian: Clear Creek makes a nice pear brandy. Pricey, though.
	1:25pm Mary Wing: Heh, the doctor beat me to it.
	1:25pm Roberto: That's not even mid-New Jersey. It's practically Rockland County. Drama queens!
	1:27pm Hubig Pie: What is deepest Joisey, Cape May?
	♥ 1:28pm Sem: I do some work for a distillery here. Every year we wonder whether the Pears in the Bottles will be harvested without incident. Rarely gos smoothly.ironworksdistillery.com...
	1:28pm Mary Wing: I used to be able to find Woodchuck pear cider in supermarkets but haven't seen it anywhere in years, which is a drag.
	♥ 1:29pm Sem: Was it Two Buck Woodchuck, Mary?
	♥ 1:30pm Stanley: Hi Sem - I love the idea of a pear-in-a-bottle tree.
	♥ 1:30pm fred: @Sem: Pricey stuff
	1:31pm Mary Wing: Heh, no, Sem. But I would even buy that if I found it!
	1:32pm David in London: Sem, your challenge for 2021 is to carve the pear into the shape of a ship.
	1:32pm Mary Wing: That distillery's site has an age restriction splash screen, heh. Like no teenager would ever click on "exit site" when asked...
	♥ 1:32pm Handy Haversack: Ugh. Back. Anyone in the market for a family? It's used and not in the best condition, but it's priced to move!
	1:32pm Sylvia (France-NYC): @Philippe @1:14 someone must have eaten my fries
	1:33pm Mary Wing: And my eggs, dammit!
	♥ 1:33pm Sem: Risk/reward pricing, fred. We lost over 350 of 500 pears in bottled on the trees during a July hurricane a few years back, for example. And let us not speak of fire blight in the orchards.
	♥ 1:33pm fred: @Handy: Depends, are they covid deniers? I'd have to balk
	♥ 1:35pm Handy Haversack: They are not exactly denying but are having a motherflipping wedding at Disney World this month anyways!
	1:35pm Mary Wing: So, to get the pear after you drink the liquor, you have to break the bottle?
	♥ 1:36pm fred: @Handy: how is that not denial?
	♥ 1:37pm Handy Haversack: "We'll wear our masks." Jesus wept. Just had a long talk with my ninety-three-year-old aunt about whether I am going to get over my sisters' ignoring the facts here. Can I start drinking yet?
	♥ 1:38pm fred: @Handy: To (probably) quote Shane McGowan, the answer is "yes"
	1:39pm βrian: These can help: making.engr.wisc.edu...
	1:40pm Carmichael: Ugh, mask talk. Just shut up and wear it.
	1:40pm Sylvia (France-NYC): bring a whole pear tree for Handy
	1:40pm Carmichael: And a partridge.
	1:40pm David in London: One for the Road was actually a key inspiration for Louie, Louie. Weird, but true
	♥ 1:41pm fred: @Handy: going with the same source, maybe check your dental plan first
	♥ 1:42pm Handy Haversack: I am going, I am going. Where streams of whiskey are flowing.
	♥ 1:42pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: This dance remix of Julee Cruise is unusual!!
	1:43pm βrian: If the ocean was whisky and I was a duck ...
	1:43pm David in London: Julee Cruise did a later stint in The B-52s, didn’t she?
	1:44pm Mary Wing: Howdy Carmichael!
	♥ 1:44pm spodiodi: yes
	♥ 1:44pm fred: That song always brings me back to that Twin Peaks episode. No matter the remix, I expect the giant to appear
	1:44pm Mary Wing: Was that when Cindy took a break from touring?
	♥ 1:45pm spodiodi: aloha, Carmichael! cheers, Handy. yes, you can
	1:46pm David in London: I think it was Mary. Good fill-in I reckon.
	♥ 1:48pm Stanley: Oo, this is good.
	1:49pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello everybody. Flowing along with your selections, Mary. That Horace Tapscott reminded me of a 3 LP Impulse comp- " Energy Essentials", that is somewhere in my basement.
	1:52pm Mary Wing: Hi Kevin! I just looked up that album, it was released in 1972! Lots of good music on it, wow!
	♥ 1:52pm Stanley: Hi Kevin. How's it going?
	♥ 1:54pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: "It is happening... again".
	2:05pm Sylvia (France-NYC): hey S&M&S, check your phone :D
	2:07pm Hubig Pie: The baseline that bankrupt Sugar Hill records
	2:09pm Mary Wing: Is that right, Hubig? I knew they got sued, didn't know they went bankrupt.
	♥ 2:09pm Handy Haversack: I am going to be glad when this week staggers to an end. That Roches song and album are so good. I took Kate to see them in Manhattan years ago.
	♥ 2:10pm Phillippe Bastille: Ok, I just told everyone in my meeting I was signing off to listen to 3oak, so it better be a good one, Mary! (no pressure)
	♥ 2:11pm fred: @Phillippe: did you pretend it was some exclusive hedge fund tip line?
	2:11pm Hubig Pie: Mary, I think they declared bankruptcy when a judge ruled they owed royalties, but I could be wrong'bout that
	2:12pm David in London: Ah, I saw The Sunday supporting The Throwing Muses when the album came out. They were set to be absolutely massive, but it never happened for them.
	♥ 2:13pm Phillippe Bastille: @Fred I was very transparent about it. And, in the spirit of transparency to you all, I waited until everyone else was off the call to make that announcement
	2:13pm Mary Wing: I wonder why, David? Did they not want to be famous? They really dropped off the radar pretty quickly after what, three albums?
	2:14pm Sylvia (France-NYC): sometimes all you need is a bit of extra luck, and it never comes :/
	♥ 2:14pm Phillippe Bastille: Wow, 47 clicky stars!
	2:14pm Sylvia (France-NYC): or they didn't want it, like you're suggesting, Mary
	2:15pm Hubig Pie: Souvenir of a terrible year, a facemask
	♥ 2:15pm Handy Haversack: Oof, Hubig, seriously.
	2:17pm Hubig Pie: At some point I'd like to have them all bunched up and forgotten in the back of the sock drawer,Handy
	♥ 2:18pm Stanley: I'm having a gin and tonic. I know I'm mad.
	2:19pm David in London: Come back in from the edge Stanley.
	♥ 2:20pm Handy Haversack: Put down that science pole, Frink -- you'll kills us all! (The G&T is the science pole in this allusion.) Whoa, what is happening, Mary? I'm scared!
	♥ 2:21pm fred: They did call their hit "Here's where the story ends" though. Not exactly a vote of confidence
	♥ 2:21pm Stanley: You'll never take me alive!
	♥ 2:21pm Phillippe Bastille: Excellent point, Fred
	♥ 2:23pm Phillippe Bastille: Damn, I miss G&Ts...
	2:25pm Mary Wing: After all these years, I want to know what went down in the shed, heh.
	♥ 2:26pm Phillippe Bastille: Well, great: "The US Department of Transportation rule announced Wednesday states that "carriers are not required to recognize emotional support animals as service animals and may treat them as pets."" Looks like my spider has to stay home.
	2:27pm jn34282: @Phillippe i think seeing eye dogs wil still be allowed, otherwise there will be major lawsuits
	♥ 2:28pm Stanley: Nice find, this Cantonese version. Mary
	2:28pm Hubig Pie: I wanna know what she threw off the Tallahatchie Bridge
	2:28pm Mary Wing: A seeing eye dog is a service animal, not an emotional support animal.
	♥ 2:28pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Wow, repeated listens like this really reveal what a terribly sad song this is. Sigh...
	♥ 2:29pm Phillippe Bastille: can you imagine sitting down for dim sum and hearing this?
	♥ 2:29pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Also, super belated greetings to you @david and @spodiodi!
	2:30pm jn34282: @Mary wing i think a lot if music groups are not in it for the fane but like music, and if they make a little money, more power to them
	♥ 2:30pm Phillippe Bastille: actually, can you imagine sitting down for dim sum?
	2:30pm Mary Wing: She could be singing about dim sum for all we know!
	2:31pm jn34282: @Mary wing your right about that my bad
	🛎 ♥ 2:32pm Ike: I always assumed The Sundays were just as successful (in the U.S. anyway) as, say, James, or My Bloody Valentine, but I suppose they had a higher possible ceiling that they never hit. I'm sure the UK is different, that strange land where Blur and Oasis were able to get huge, which would never have been permitted here.
	2:32pm Mary Wing: Yeah, jn34282, maybe The Sundays just liked making music but hated the corporate side of it? All the promo, stuff, interviews and videos perhaps weren't their thing.
	♥ 2:32pm Handy Haversack: I wonder what is the mean length of time after the original for the 3OAK covers, in toto. And I guess a standard deviation thereof? Mean of just over 13 for this one so far.
	2:33pm jn34282: @Ike suzie quatro was a loy more famous in England then here
	🛎 ♥ 2:34pm Ike: Ooooo, a noisy version!
	2:34pm jn34282: @Mary wing sometimes a lot of that stuff they have to deal with is a drag and would rather not deal with it
	2:34pm Sylvia (France-NYC): notice how Blur and Oasis were all guys bands, and The Sundays had a female lead... not saying it's related to anything, but still, thinks about it
	♥ 2:35pm coelacanth∅: hello Mary and 100%ers
	2:36pm Mary Wing: Howdy coelacanth! Happy Wednesday!
	♥ 2:36pm coelacanth∅: did i get here just in time for the 2 best versions? (i heard Faye Wong)
	🛎 ♥ 2:36pm eki: Apropos of absolutely nothing, I think I'm pretty good amateur linguistic forensics, and can tell when an internet "unsub" has changed its moniker in order to avoid detection for some reason, because its language and communication style is exactly the same as before. No reason I bring that up at all!
	2:37pm jn34282: @coelantho howdy @sylvia howdy
	♥ 2:37pm fred: @Ike: I'm sorry to hear your emotional support chainsaw again has been denied again, after your attempt to bring it to the Felder display at the Met
	2:38pm Mary Wing: I like all the versions today, coela, so I can't say. But your mileage may vary. :-)
	♥ 2:39pm fred: @Mary: do you ever play versions you don't like?
	2:39pm jn34282: @Mary wing clicky starred everything so far
	♥ 2:40pm spodiodi: aloha, coelacanth∅!
	2:41pm Mary Wing: Once in a while, fred, if it is different enough from the original version.
	🛎 ♥ 2:42pm ɛɨk: Though, of course, there are certain situations where you have to wonder why it seeks to avoid detection, and what local or cultural violations it got pinned for in a previous life.
	♥ 2:42pm Handy Haversack: What was the recent-ish 3OAK with the versions from male vocalists that got a little ... cringey?
	2:43pm Mary Wing: Was it Venus as a boy, Handy?
	♥ 2:43pm coelacanth∅: i don't know this song Mary...but i believe you!
	2:43pm Hubig Pie: Armed pharmacists?
	♥ 2:43pm fred: @Mary: Thanks for that then, a very different version is always a treat to me. Sometimes I like it better than the original, but I understand it's a wild guess. Thanks for taking the chance
	♥ 2:44pm coelacanth∅: hey spodi, jn34282
	♥ 2:45pm Handy Haversack: I think that must have been it, Mary. Yo, coela!
	2:45pm Mary Wing: One more cover coming, and it is the first one I heard, which lead to today's 30ak.
	♥ 2:47pm coelacanth∅: Ike, me too. i've called out a few trolls, and other times (like CC) i don't see the point. ...but sometimes continue a conversation with "different" posters -as one ...which usually makes them stop posting for a few minutes. (which is not my intention)
	♥ 2:48pm coelacanth∅: hey Handy!
	♥ 2:48pm spodiodi: me too @Ike/coel. there are even some "sub" entities mucking about
	♥ 2:50pm spodiodi: i mostly don't bother with the most obvious ones (lately) -- this convo brings them glee, no doubt ("teehee! look how i've made them ______!", etc)
	♥ 2:50pm spodiodi: to which, i say, whatever
	♥ 2:50pm coelacanth∅: by sub you mean with a "profile"?
	♥ 2:51pm spodiodi: yes, to extend Ike's "unsub" (to save words)
	🛎 ♥ 2:53pm ɨkɛ: I stole "unsub" from a shitty TV show, just to mean "unknown perpetrator", not necessarily someone not logged in. What puzzles me are the people who are "borderline", where I can't tell what they're up to, or if they're trolling us or what. There have only been a few of those, but they're baffling.
	♥ 2:53pm spodiodi: i've no doubt some are alts for otherwise legit/accepted/(even wfmu-internal) personas
	♥ 2:53pm spodiodi: again, to which i say a hearty "whatever"
	♥ 2:54pm coelacanth∅: ... yes you're right then. i think some (or one) has created a profile,or several, but more often posts without it, using different monikers
	♥ 2:54pm spodiodi: stir the pot, you clever monkeys. (you're not fooling as many people as you'd like to think)
	♥ 2:54pm fred: @Ike/coel/spodiodi: I hope you're not talking about me: I've been banned from some playlists, and I haven't posted there since banned (haven't even looked at these, don't want to get tempted, and I'm used to being thrown out). I don't post unless logged in, and have never changed my name
	♥ 2:55pm spodiodi: no way, fred. you're fred. it's clear \m/
	♥ 2:55pm coelacanth∅: it's just a game being played, and harmless. (in the most obvious cases)
	2:56pm Mary Wing: Shall I ban you from here, fred? ;-) I'd miss you, though.
	♥ 2:56pm spodiodi: @Mary Wing: thank you! i loved your show today (again!) and if i had to pick only one program from wfmu to take with me on a deserted island, it would be 100% Whatever! <3
	♥ 2:56pm coelacanth∅: i've banned some show hosts from my comments.
	🛎 ♥ 2:57pm ɨkɛ: Oh heck no, Fred, I love ya, ya big lug! What jerk would ever ban you anyway? (You don't have to answer that.) I think I've only been banned from Matt Garbage's playlists, and that was well-deserved, the infamous Felder Meltdown of Early 2020 (tm, all rights reserved). I blame work-at-home jitters.
	2:57pm David in London: Thanks for another great show Mary.
	2:57pm Mary Wing: Stick around for DJ Black Helmet, playlist is here: wfmu.org...
	2:57pm Mary Wing: Aw, thanks, spodiodi! I know you have many many choices to pick from, so that means a lot.
	2:57pm Sylvia (France-NYC): thank you for the show, Mary, until next time!
	♥ 2:57pm coelacanth∅: fred you're a little paranoid but we Love you!
	♥ 2:58pm spodiodi: :) i so mean it
	2:58pm KevinfromBayRidge: Howdy Stanley(1:52), if you're still here. I got pulled away from the screen by a old school non-spam phone call. Mary(1:52)- Just about my fave comp. Played that vinyl to oblivion in the day. Great show!
	♥ 2:58pm Sem: The ringing in my ears cleared up! I answered the phone finally. See you next time around Mary, and all. Be excellent when all else fails.
	♥ 2:58pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks Mary!
	♥ 2:58pm Handy Haversack: Crap, it got late! Thanks, Mary! This was great. I hope it's OK that I am now humming "spodi is a friend of mine"!
	🛎 ♥ 2:58pm ɨkɛ: Thanks Mary, thanks all. Maybe I'll see some of you on Scott W.'s comments next.
	♥ 2:59pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Is this striking anyone else as a female Steely Dan kinda thing? (in a good way)
	♥ 2:59pm spodiodi: ciao all... and aloha, Really Lisa (was hoping you'd type something so i had a reason to say hello late!... peace!)
	♥ 2:59pm Stanley: I can't think of a nicer bunch of people than the one, here. Great music, once again, Mary. Thanks.
	♥ 2:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Mary!
	2:59pm Mary Wing: Thanks for listening today!!
	♥ 3:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Mary. Have a whatever week!
	♥ 3:00pm coelacanth∅: oh -that wasn't steely dan? i didn't look, i assumed...
	3:03pm Really Lisa: Oops, bye and thank you, Mary! Spodi, aloha/peace to you! A life hiccup took me away from the second half of the show! Archives are a great thing ✌

	♥ 12:06pm Phillippe Bastille: Handy, does Bagpipe make weird noises in the wind?
	♥ 12:07pm Handy Haversack: We play him before battle to instill fear in our enemies, Phillippe.
	12:07pm Mary Wing: Hi Handy! It's a dog's life, truly.
	12:07pm βrian: I imagine Bagpipe needs a little pumping up first, no?
	♥ 12:08pm Phillippe Bastille: My bride's side of the family is partially Scottish. They do kilts, no bagpipes (thus far)
	🛎 ♥ 12:08pm Ike: Meow!
	♥ 12:08pm Handy Haversack: Every day is Saturday to a dog. Though only Saturdays have Fools' Paradise.

	12:13pm Mary Wing: I didn't think it was scary, though, Mark, were the hairs on the back of your neck standing up? :-)
	♥ 12:13pm Phillippe Bastille: I just got a text from my cousin about some dude in the neighborhood who put a large penis in Christmas lights on his roof. I'm guessing he's across the street from the guy with the huge Trump banner on his roof. Either that or he thinks Santa is gay and just putting an invitation out there...
	12:14pm Mark R: I'm pretty sure that's the sound I'll be hearing as I descend down the tunnel to Hell.
	♥ 12:14pm spodiodi: Phillippe, lololol. i'm very happy to hear that :D
	♥ 12:15pm WR: Hi Mary and folks. Streaming drummer stream here today but I've got to pay attention to my work computer instead of the playlist. Have fun.

	♥ 12:18pm Sem: Yo, yo, spo'di'.
	12:19pm Mark R: Something tells me Pence would secretly like that large penis very much. Don't tell Mother.
	♥ 12:19pm Phillippe Bastille: I'm gonna have to ride around tonight and see if I can find it.
	12:20pm Mary Wing: Greetings Sem! The dings shall cure all ills! Aw, thanks Mark! !'m proud of how this first set rolled out, yep.
	♥ 12:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: Sounds fun, Handy. I haven't purchased mine yet. I also need to work on a polka song for Stashu's other project. How's our resident spodiatrist doing today?
	12:21pm βrian: "Mother, may I?"
	♥ 12:23pm spodiodi: busy, with a touch of repetitive stress, but good otherwise, Ken, thank you! how about you?
	♥ 12:23pm David (in London): Ring a ding ding, I'm late in. All hail Mary Wing. Phillippe, Handy, Lisa, Sem, Spod, Brian, fred. Yo Groovers.

	12:26pm Sylvia (France-NYC): Hello, I'm late!
	12:28pm Mary Wing: <feels self> No, I think you're in the right place, Brian. Salut Sylvia! Latecomers will be seated at the discretion of management, heh. Find yourself a comfy chair!
	12:29pm βrian: The Boards Of Canada Geese have taken up residence at a nearby pond. There are hundreds of them!
	♥ 12:29pm spodiodi: 👋 Sylvia
	♥ 12:30pm David (in London): Come and join me at the back Sylvia, I've saved you a space.
	♥ 12:30pm spodiodi: Boards of Canada make up for all that goose mess with such nice relaxing tunes
	12:31pm βrian: Ah, good to see some cooperation across the channel.
	12:31pm Sylvia (France-NYC): thanks, David! hey @spodiodi
	12:32pm Hubig Pie: This be the first time I hear The Boards on this here station
	🛎 ♥ 12:32pm Ike: Nice to know that Pence-y types aren't ONLY found in America. Mike Pence's sorta-kinda Hungarian counterpart, an ally of Orban (like T---p but more wily), has resigned after fleeing a lockdown-violating 25-man orgy in Belgium: www.businessinsider.in...
	♥ 12:34pm Phillippe Bastille: This groove is pretty nice... Hey DiL, Sylvia!
	♥ 12:34pm Sem: Hiya, David iL (or out in the UK sticks, as the case may be).
	♥ 12:34pm David (in London): Wotcha Hubig me old mucker.
	♥ 12:36pm spodiodi: Ike, thanks for more smile-induction :D
	12:36pm βrian: Is Boris going to give sanctuary to the Cheetoh?
	♥ 12:36pm spodiodi: Hubig, aloha! come to think of it... neither have i, though i love them, and they were perfect in this really sweet and soothing set
	♥ 12:37pm fred: @Mark R: did you hear about the Hungarian anti-LGBTQ MEP who was caught in a gay orgy during lockdown in Brussels?
	♥ 12:38pm spodiodi: cheetolini skatin on think ice, βrian. i hope not
	12:39pm Hubig Pie: Ok David, you gots to 'splain the difference 'tween a mucker and a cocker
	♥ 12:39pm Phillippe Bastille: the first two letters
	12:40pm Mary Wing: Hello Hubig! Man, that article is too funny, Ike! Always the ones who complain the loudest about "moral indecency" and the like are the ones caught with their pants down, heh.
	12:41pm Hubig Pie: Greets, Spo-dee-o-deee
	♥ 12:44pm David (in London): Hubig, 'mucker' is military slang in origin I think, 'cocker' not so. 'Fucker' is best avoided...
	♥ 12:46pm spodiodi: Carajo, DiL! such language!
	12:46pm Hubig Pie: Fucker is for Frank Booth
	♥ 12:48pm spodiodi: LCD Soundsystem 8^D where's ngh?
	12:48pm Mary Wing: Has anyone seen the LCD Soundsystem movie "Shut Up And Play The Hits"? I liked the concert footage but could have done without the pretentious interview segments, heh.
	♥ 12:49pm Phillippe Bastille: Ok Wingers, heading in for breakfast/lunch (on an 18/6 intermittent fast schedule). Who needs what?
	12:49pm βrian: A cocker is a spaniel, no?
	12:50pm Sylvia (France-NYC): Fries, Philippe!
	♥ 12:50pm spodiodi: Mary Wing, i have not and am now afraid to watch it (not that i knew of it before your mentioning it just now) -- ignorance is bliss in this case, for me, i'm sure. i dislike pretension muchomucho
	♥ 12:51pm spodiodi: i'd like a half-smoke, please Phillippe
	12:51pm Mary Wing: Fries! And eggs, over easy!
	♥ 12:51pm David (in London): Spod, sometimes a stout Anglo-Saxon expletive is the only mot juste for the occasion... Scampi in a basket please Phillippe.
	♥ 12:51pm spodiodi: SYlvia makes a good request --- with old bay please
	12:51pm Mary Wing: You can always fast-forward through the pretentious bits, spodiodi; I should've done that.
	12:52pm Sylvia (France-NYC): yeah, over easy eggs are goood
	♥ 12:53pm Phillippe Bastille: Coming right up folks!
	♥ 12:53pm spodiodi: noted, Mary. good idea. such an ironic title, with the point you raised heh :)
	12:54pm Mary Wing: I guess they thought they were being ironic with that title, heh. But it's true! Shut up, man!
	12:54pm βrian: I'll have the usual: Poached halibut drizzled with a roasted-red-pepper coulis, with wild rice and zucchini.
	🛎 ♥ 12:54pm Ike: I recently discovered how to properly make my own fries in the oven, now I just have to figure out the optimal way to cut them so they're not too thin or too thick.
	♥ 12:54pm fred: I usually try to look at the pretentious interview as a Spinal Tap outtake, or at least as the baffled experts in the Jandek doc. If that fails, I do skip
	♥ 12:55pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning-ish, Mary! ... And all Whatever-ers!
	12:57pm Mary Wing: Hiya S&M&S! Any guesses what song is coming next, based on this guitar sound?
	12:57pm Sylvia (France-NYC): @Ike wedge is fine in the oven, and once cooked you can toss them with some parsley, paprika, garlic powder, and grated parmesan It's dinner time in Franceland, I'm hungry!
	♥ 12:57pm spodiodi: i like how you think, fred. good idea. aloha, S&M&S
	♥ 12:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: If you can pick me up a couple of those healthy whole wheat Pop-Tarts, Phillippe, that would be great. Frosted fudge, if they have any left.
	♥ 12:58pm David (in London): Hey S&M&S Mary - Defecting Grey, The Pretty Things.
	12:58pm Mary Wing: Ike, how are you cutting them? With a knife? Do you have a grater with multiple blade sizes?
	♥ 12:59pm David (in London): Darn, it was Eno. And I always thought that the line 'burns his books, burn his shoes' was actually 'Bugs Bunny shoes'.
	♥ 12:59pm Stanley: Ah, tuning in just in time to hear one of my all-time favourite pieces.
	♥ 12:59pm Handy Haversack: And we are back for Eno!
	12:59pm Hubig Pie: All the hits
	♥ 12:59pm Stanley: And there was you, Mary
	♥ 1:00pm Stanley: then
	♥ 1:00pm spodiodi: aloha, Stanley! wb, Handy
	♥ 1:01pm Stanley: Friends, fiends and fronds all present.
	1:02pm Mary Wing: Ha ha ha, David! And there really are Bugs Bunny shoes now! Hello Stanley and welcome back Handy!
	♥ 1:04pm Handy Haversack: Now I gotta make a salad. The torchum, it never stops, I tell you.
	🛎 ♥ 1:04pm Ike: @Mary, with a small but sharp knife. Last time they were too crispy, close to burnt, because I cut them shoestring-ish (or thinner) size and baked them a little too long. I need to try a more wedge-like shape. One thing that apparently helps is to soak (blanch) them in cold water for 10 minutes before baking.
	1:04pm βrian: Oh dear, I'm starting to crever la faim. Needs me some pommes frites.
	♥ 1:06pm Stanley: I've got the rice cooker on and the packet curry chick peas are standing by the microwave. It is a wednesday evening after all.
	♥ 1:07pm fred: @Stanley: I had some gift cards to spend quickly, so I settled on some French whisky. Not as terrible as expected, but nothing great either. I did get a Kilchoman too though
	♥ 1:08pm david w: Hugs, Mary! Hello all (and now I'm really hungry).
	1:08pm Roberto: I like the Muppet Show version of Windmills.
	1:09pm Mary Wing: Hugs back atcha, David W! How was your Thanksgiving, quiet?
	♥ 1:09pm Stanley: Ike - I've been doing homestyle chips for a long time. I find best cut into wedges but essential to turn then every five to seven minutes. We don't want over-browned on one side. Ooh, no Matron.
	1:10pm Mary Wing: Hi Roberto, I must hear that version! I guess Windmills will get the 30ak treatment sometime in the future...
	♥ 1:11pm Stanley: fred: French whisky? I'm intrigued. If I go french it's usually Armagnac.
	♥ 1:11pm Phillippe Bastille: Everybody's lunch okay? Leftover tuna casserole and room temperature Fresca for me...
	♥ 1:11pm David (in London): Stanley. was that a Kenneth Williams impression? If so, go to the front of the class.
	♥ 1:12pm Phillippe Bastille: @Stanley there's a French whiskey named Bastille. I get no proceeds.
	♥ 1:12pm Stanley: David - stop mucking about!
	♥ 1:13pm spodiodi: aloha, david w! stabs at Phillippes' Fresca with a crazystraw
	♥ 1:13pm Stanley: Phillipe - there are also some up and coming Canadian malts, so I'm told.
	1:13pm Sylvia (France-NYC): well, instead of fries, I'm gonna have soup. Ugh. But also, yum.
	1:14pm Roberto: It works mostly on a visual level: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 1:14pm Phillippe Bastille: @Sylvia wait, you didn't get the fries?
	♥ 1:14pm fred: @Stanley: No need to change your habits about French stuff.
	1:15pm βrian: Well, I had to go with cold leftover lasagna.
	1:16pm Hubig Pie: A whole other side of Billy Paul here
	♥ 1:16pm Phillippe Bastille: @βrian I still have some room temp Fresca I can pour over it to warm it up
	1:16pm βrian: Armagnac for me, too. Sometimes Calvados.
	🛎 ♥ 1:17pm Ike: @Stanley, that sounds right. As a bonus, this is a great way to use up disappointing or mediocre olive oil, which seems rife around here lately. Just a drizzle, of course.
	♥ 1:17pm Ken From Hyde Park: I remember when my dear mother would deep-fry potato slices. We had one of those Ronco Veg-o-matic gadgets to slice them.
	1:18pm βrian: Fresca! With cyclamates!
	1:19pm Roberto: The longest line I've ever seen outside the Beacon was for Yusuf/Cat a few years ago.
	1:19pm Hubig Pie: Poire Williams eau de vie, si vous plait
	1:20pm Mary Wing: Really, Roberto? Did you go see him?
	1:20pm Roberto: Lol no I hate long lines :P
	♥ 1:20pm doctorjazz: Love these old Roche's album's! Hi all!
	♥ 1:21pm spodiodi: hello, doctorjazz!
	♥ 1:21pm Phillippe Bastille: @βrian covers the taste of saccharine
	1:22pm Listener Robert: Where in NJ did they say they came from? Twice I couldn't make it out.
	1:22pm Mary Wing: Hi doctorjazz! I <3 The Roches early albums too!
	1:23pm Mary Wing: They said "we come from deepest New Jersey" Listener Robert, no city mentioned, heh!
	♥ 1:23pm fred: @Hubig Pie: I remember some homemade pear liquor that had the grainy feel of pear. I don't remember much after that though
	1:23pm βrian: Lots of spinach and zucchini in that lasagna.
	1:23pm Listener Robert: Thanks, Ms. Wiing. It did sound like that, but the closest sound to it I thought of was "Seacrest".
	♥ 1:24pm doctorjazz: I googled, Park Ridge NJ was Deepest New Jersey.
	♥ 1:24pm Stanley: Ike - I jazz 'em up sometimes with a sprinkling of paprika before they go in and then a couple of mins at the end with some melting cheese.
	♥ 1:25pm Phillippe Bastille: off to zoom. later gators
	1:25pm Mary Wing: Wikipedia says the Roches came from Park Ridge, NJ. Not sure how deep that is, though.
	1:25pm βrian: Clear Creek makes a nice pear brandy. Pricey, though.
	1:25pm Mary Wing: Heh, the doctor beat me to it.
	1:25pm Roberto: That's not even mid-New Jersey. It's practically Rockland County. Drama queens!
	1:27pm Hubig Pie: What is deepest Joisey, Cape May?
	♥ 1:28pm Sem: I do some work for a distillery here. Every year we wonder whether the Pears in the Bottles will be harvested without incident. Rarely gos smoothly.ironworksdistillery.com...
	1:28pm Mary Wing: I used to be able to find Woodchuck pear cider in supermarkets but haven't seen it anywhere in years, which is a drag.
	♥ 1:29pm Sem: Was it Two Buck Woodchuck, Mary?
	♥ 1:30pm Stanley: Hi Sem - I love the idea of a pear-in-a-bottle tree.
	♥ 1:30pm fred: @Sem: Pricey stuff
	1:31pm Mary Wing: Heh, no, Sem. But I would even buy that if I found it!
	1:32pm David in London: Sem, your challenge for 2021 is to carve the pear into the shape of a ship.
	1:32pm Mary Wing: That distillery's site has an age restriction splash screen, heh. Like no teenager would ever click on "exit site" when asked...
	♥ 1:32pm Handy Haversack: Ugh. Back. Anyone in the market for a family? It's used and not in the best condition, but it's priced to move!
	1:32pm Sylvia (France-NYC): @Philippe @1:14 someone must have eaten my fries
	1:33pm Mary Wing: And my eggs, dammit!
	♥ 1:33pm Sem: Risk/reward pricing, fred. We lost over 350 of 500 pears in bottled on the trees during a July hurricane a few years back, for example. And let us not speak of fire blight in the orchards.
	♥ 1:33pm fred: @Handy: Depends, are they covid deniers? I'd have to balk
	♥ 1:35pm Handy Haversack: They are not exactly denying but are having a motherflipping wedding at Disney World this month anyways!
	1:35pm Mary Wing: So, to get the pear after you drink the liquor, you have to break the bottle?
	♥ 1:36pm fred: @Handy: how is that not denial?
	♥ 1:37pm Handy Haversack: "We'll wear our masks." Jesus wept. Just had a long talk with my ninety-three-year-old aunt about whether I am going to get over my sisters' ignoring the facts here. Can I start drinking yet?
	♥ 1:38pm fred: @Handy: To (probably) quote Shane McGowan, the answer is "yes"
	1:39pm βrian: These can help: making.engr.wisc.edu...
	1:40pm Carmichael: Ugh, mask talk. Just shut up and wear it.
	1:40pm Sylvia (France-NYC): bring a whole pear tree for Handy
	1:40pm Carmichael: And a partridge.
	1:40pm David in London: One for the Road was actually a key inspiration for Louie, Louie. Weird, but true
	♥ 1:41pm fred: @Handy: going with the same source, maybe check your dental plan first
	♥ 1:42pm Handy Haversack: I am going, I am going. Where streams of whiskey are flowing.
	♥ 1:42pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: This dance remix of Julee Cruise is unusual!!
	1:43pm βrian: If the ocean was whisky and I was a duck ...
	1:43pm David in London: Julee Cruise did a later stint in The B-52s, didn’t she?
	1:44pm Mary Wing: Howdy Carmichael!
	♥ 1:44pm spodiodi: yes
	♥ 1:44pm fred: That song always brings me back to that Twin Peaks episode. No matter the remix, I expect the giant to appear
	1:44pm Mary Wing: Was that when Cindy took a break from touring?
	♥ 1:45pm spodiodi: aloha, Carmichael! cheers, Handy. yes, you can
	1:46pm David in London: I think it was Mary. Good fill-in I reckon.
	♥ 1:48pm Stanley: Oo, this is good.
	1:49pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello everybody. Flowing along with your selections, Mary. That Horace Tapscott reminded me of a 3 LP Impulse comp- " Energy Essentials", that is somewhere in my basement.
	1:52pm Mary Wing: Hi Kevin! I just looked up that album, it was released in 1972! Lots of good music on it, wow!
	♥ 1:52pm Stanley: Hi Kevin. How's it going?
	♥ 1:54pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: "It is happening... again".
	2:05pm Sylvia (France-NYC): hey S&M&S, check your phone :D
	2:07pm Hubig Pie: The baseline that bankrupt Sugar Hill records
	2:09pm Mary Wing: Is that right, Hubig? I knew they got sued, didn't know they went bankrupt.
	♥ 2:09pm Handy Haversack: I am going to be glad when this week staggers to an end. That Roches song and album are so good. I took Kate to see them in Manhattan years ago.
	♥ 2:10pm Phillippe Bastille: Ok, I just told everyone in my meeting I was signing off to listen to 3oak, so it better be a good one, Mary! (no pressure)
	♥ 2:11pm fred: @Phillippe: did you pretend it was some exclusive hedge fund tip line?
	2:11pm Hubig Pie: Mary, I think they declared bankruptcy when a judge ruled they owed royalties, but I could be wrong'bout that
	2:12pm David in London: Ah, I saw The Sunday supporting The Throwing Muses when the album came out. They were set to be absolutely massive, but it never happened for them.
	♥ 2:13pm Phillippe Bastille: @Fred I was very transparent about it. And, in the spirit of transparency to you all, I waited until everyone else was off the call to make that announcement
	2:13pm Mary Wing: I wonder why, David? Did they not want to be famous? They really dropped off the radar pretty quickly after what, three albums?
	2:14pm Sylvia (France-NYC): sometimes all you need is a bit of extra luck, and it never comes :/
	♥ 2:14pm Phillippe Bastille: Wow, 47 clicky stars!
	2:14pm Sylvia (France-NYC): or they didn't want it, like you're suggesting, Mary
	2:15pm Hubig Pie: Souvenir of a terrible year, a facemask
	♥ 2:15pm Handy Haversack: Oof, Hubig, seriously.
	2:17pm Hubig Pie: At some point I'd like to have them all bunched up and forgotten in the back of the sock drawer,Handy
	♥ 2:18pm Stanley: I'm having a gin and tonic. I know I'm mad.
	2:19pm David in London: Come back in from the edge Stanley.
	♥ 2:20pm Handy Haversack: Put down that science pole, Frink -- you'll kills us all! (The G&T is the science pole in this allusion.) Whoa, what is happening, Mary? I'm scared!
	♥ 2:21pm fred: They did call their hit "Here's where the story ends" though. Not exactly a vote of confidence
	♥ 2:21pm Stanley: You'll never take me alive!
	♥ 2:21pm Phillippe Bastille: Excellent point, Fred
	♥ 2:23pm Phillippe Bastille: Damn, I miss G&Ts...
	2:25pm Mary Wing: After all these years, I want to know what went down in the shed, heh.
	♥ 2:26pm Phillippe Bastille: Well, great: "The US Department of Transportation rule announced Wednesday states that "carriers are not required to recognize emotional support animals as service animals and may treat them as pets."" Looks like my spider has to stay home.
	2:27pm jn34282: @Phillippe i think seeing eye dogs wil still be allowed, otherwise there will be major lawsuits
	♥ 2:28pm Stanley: Nice find, this Cantonese version. Mary
	2:28pm Hubig Pie: I wanna know what she threw off the Tallahatchie Bridge
	2:28pm Mary Wing: A seeing eye dog is a service animal, not an emotional support animal.
	♥ 2:28pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Wow, repeated listens like this really reveal what a terribly sad song this is. Sigh...
	♥ 2:29pm Phillippe Bastille: can you imagine sitting down for dim sum and hearing this?
	♥ 2:29pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Also, super belated greetings to you @david and @spodiodi!
	2:30pm jn34282: @Mary wing i think a lot if music groups are not in it for the fane but like music, and if they make a little money, more power to them
	♥ 2:30pm Phillippe Bastille: actually, can you imagine sitting down for dim sum?
	2:30pm Mary Wing: She could be singing about dim sum for all we know!
	2:31pm jn34282: @Mary wing your right about that my bad
	🛎 ♥ 2:32pm Ike: I always assumed The Sundays were just as successful (in the U.S. anyway) as, say, James, or My Bloody Valentine, but I suppose they had a higher possible ceiling that they never hit. I'm sure the UK is different, that strange land where Blur and Oasis were able to get huge, which would never have been permitted here.
	2:32pm Mary Wing: Yeah, jn34282, maybe The Sundays just liked making music but hated the corporate side of it? All the promo, stuff, interviews and videos perhaps weren't their thing.
	♥ 2:32pm Handy Haversack: I wonder what is the mean length of time after the original for the 3OAK covers, in toto. And I guess a standard deviation thereof? Mean of just over 13 for this one so far.
	2:33pm jn34282: @Ike suzie quatro was a loy more famous in England then here
	🛎 ♥ 2:34pm Ike: Ooooo, a noisy version!
	2:34pm jn34282: @Mary wing sometimes a lot of that stuff they have to deal with is a drag and would rather not deal with it
	2:34pm Sylvia (France-NYC): notice how Blur and Oasis were all guys bands, and The Sundays had a female lead... not saying it's related to anything, but still, thinks about it
	♥ 2:35pm coelacanth∅: hello Mary and 100%ers
	2:36pm Mary Wing: Howdy coelacanth! Happy Wednesday!
	♥ 2:36pm coelacanth∅: did i get here just in time for the 2 best versions? (i heard Faye Wong)
	🛎 ♥ 2:36pm eki: Apropos of absolutely nothing, I think I'm pretty good amateur linguistic forensics, and can tell when an internet "unsub" has changed its moniker in order to avoid detection for some reason, because its language and communication style is exactly the same as before. No reason I bring that up at all!
	2:37pm jn34282: @coelantho howdy @sylvia howdy
	♥ 2:37pm fred: @Ike: I'm sorry to hear your emotional support chainsaw again has been denied again, after your attempt to bring it to the Felder display at the Met
	2:38pm Mary Wing: I like all the versions today, coela, so I can't say. But your mileage may vary. :-)
	♥ 2:39pm fred: @Mary: do you ever play versions you don't like?
	2:39pm jn34282: @Mary wing clicky starred everything so far
	♥ 2:40pm spodiodi: aloha, coelacanth∅!
	2:41pm Mary Wing: Once in a while, fred, if it is different enough from the original version.
	🛎 ♥ 2:42pm ɛɨk: Though, of course, there are certain situations where you have to wonder why it seeks to avoid detection, and what local or cultural violations it got pinned for in a previous life.
	♥ 2:42pm Handy Haversack: What was the recent-ish 3OAK with the versions from male vocalists that got a little ... cringey?
	2:43pm Mary Wing: Was it Venus as a boy, Handy?
	♥ 2:43pm coelacanth∅: i don't know this song Mary...but i believe you!
	2:43pm Hubig Pie: Armed pharmacists?
	♥ 2:43pm fred: @Mary: Thanks for that then, a very different version is always a treat to me. Sometimes I like it better than the original, but I understand it's a wild guess. Thanks for taking the chance
	♥ 2:44pm coelacanth∅: hey spodi, jn34282
	♥ 2:45pm Handy Haversack: I think that must have been it, Mary. Yo, coela!
	2:45pm Mary Wing: One more cover coming, and it is the first one I heard, which lead to today's 30ak.
	♥ 2:47pm coelacanth∅: Ike, me too. i've called out a few trolls, and other times (like CC) i don't see the point. ...but sometimes continue a conversation with "different" posters -as one ...which usually makes them stop posting for a few minutes. (which is not my intention)
	♥ 2:48pm coelacanth∅: hey Handy!
	♥ 2:48pm spodiodi: me too @Ike/coel. there are even some "sub" entities mucking about
	♥ 2:50pm spodiodi: i mostly don't bother with the most obvious ones (lately) -- this convo brings them glee, no doubt ("teehee! look how i've made them ______!", etc)
	♥ 2:50pm spodiodi: to which, i say, whatever
	♥ 2:50pm coelacanth∅: by sub you mean with a "profile"?
	♥ 2:51pm spodiodi: yes, to extend Ike's "unsub" (to save words)
	🛎 ♥ 2:53pm ɨkɛ: I stole "unsub" from a shitty TV show, just to mean "unknown perpetrator", not necessarily someone not logged in. What puzzles me are the people who are "borderline", where I can't tell what they're up to, or if they're trolling us or what. There have only been a few of those, but they're baffling.
	♥ 2:53pm spodiodi: i've no doubt some are alts for otherwise legit/accepted/(even wfmu-internal) personas
	♥ 2:53pm spodiodi: again, to which i say a hearty "whatever"
	♥ 2:54pm coelacanth∅: ... yes you're right then. i think some (or one) has created a profile,or several, but more often posts without it, using different monikers
	♥ 2:54pm spodiodi: stir the pot, you clever monkeys. (you're not fooling as many people as you'd like to think)
	♥ 2:54pm fred: @Ike/coel/spodiodi: I hope you're not talking about me: I've been banned from some playlists, and I haven't posted there since banned (haven't even looked at these, don't want to get tempted, and I'm used to being thrown out). I don't post unless logged in, and have never changed my name
	♥ 2:55pm spodiodi: no way, fred. you're fred. it's clear \m/
	♥ 2:55pm coelacanth∅: it's just a game being played, and harmless. (in the most obvious cases)
	2:56pm Mary Wing: Shall I ban you from here, fred? ;-) I'd miss you, though.
	♥ 2:56pm spodiodi: @Mary Wing: thank you! i loved your show today (again!) and if i had to pick only one program from wfmu to take with me on a deserted island, it would be 100% Whatever! <3
	♥ 2:56pm coelacanth∅: i've banned some show hosts from my comments.
	🛎 ♥ 2:57pm ɨkɛ: Oh heck no, Fred, I love ya, ya big lug! What jerk would ever ban you anyway? (You don't have to answer that.) I think I've only been banned from Matt Garbage's playlists, and that was well-deserved, the infamous Felder Meltdown of Early 2020 (tm, all rights reserved). I blame work-at-home jitters.
	2:57pm David in London: Thanks for another great show Mary.
	2:57pm Mary Wing: Stick around for DJ Black Helmet, playlist is here: wfmu.org...
	2:57pm Mary Wing: Aw, thanks, spodiodi! I know you have many many choices to pick from, so that means a lot.
	2:57pm Sylvia (France-NYC): thank you for the show, Mary, until next time!
	♥ 2:57pm coelacanth∅: fred you're a little paranoid but we Love you!
	♥ 2:58pm spodiodi: :) i so mean it
	2:58pm KevinfromBayRidge: Howdy Stanley(1:52), if you're still here. I got pulled away from the screen by a old school non-spam phone call. Mary(1:52)- Just about my fave comp. Played that vinyl to oblivion in the day. Great show!
	♥ 2:58pm Sem: The ringing in my ears cleared up! I answered the phone finally. See you next time around Mary, and all. Be excellent when all else fails.
	♥ 2:58pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks Mary!
	♥ 2:58pm Handy Haversack: Crap, it got late! Thanks, Mary! This was great. I hope it's OK that I am now humming "spodi is a friend of mine"!
	🛎 ♥ 2:58pm ɨkɛ: Thanks Mary, thanks all. Maybe I'll see some of you on Scott W.'s comments next.
	♥ 2:59pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Is this striking anyone else as a female Steely Dan kinda thing? (in a good way)
	♥ 2:59pm spodiodi: ciao all... and aloha, Really Lisa (was hoping you'd type something so i had a reason to say hello late!... peace!)
	♥ 2:59pm Stanley: I can't think of a nicer bunch of people than the one, here. Great music, once again, Mary. Thanks.
	♥ 2:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Mary!
	2:59pm Mary Wing: Thanks for listening today!!
	♥ 3:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Mary. Have a whatever week!
	♥ 3:00pm coelacanth∅: oh -that wasn't steely dan? i didn't look, i assumed...
	3:03pm Really Lisa: Oops, bye and thank you, Mary! Spodi, aloha/peace to you! A life hiccup took me away from the second half of the show! Archives are a great thing ✌
